Title: Problem importing seller key to PGP4win
Post by: mousemousemouse on January 07, 2013, 03:39 am
So I am looking for some help....

I will start by saying I have read much and watched the tutorials but am still a little lost...

I have installed PGP4win to encrypt my emails to sellers but when I cut and paste the seller public key into a txt document and try to import it it just says "no key is found". They have a linux key, if that matters. Any ideas?

Thanks

(I hope you mean "GPG4win). You're using GPA, right?

Did you copy their entire key, including the "-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY" and "END PGP PUBLIC KEY-----"?

It should work if you just paste it into notepad and save as a txt file, then select that file after you hit IMPORT. But if for some reason it won't import the key in a text file, you can try opening the text file and saving it with an "ASC" extension (be sure change the dropdown menu from "text files" to "ALL FILES", otherwise it will still save it as a TXT file).
